Honor Bands

The Utah Tech University Middle School Honor Band is primarily made up of students from Washington County School District.  Participants are nominated by their middle school directors.  Once selected, students are sent music to prepare and then they spend two days rehearsing and performing on the Utah Tech Campus.  Interested students should talk with their directors.  Questions about the Middle School Honor Band should be directed to Dr. Glenn Webb at Glenn.Webb@utahtech.edu.

Each year the Utah Tech University High School Honor Band spends two days preparing and performing great works of band literature.  The band meets on the Utah Tech campus and performs their concert in the Cox auditorium.  Goals of the band include educating students, strengthening friendships across schools, supporting high school music programs, and creating high caliber performances.  While primarily made up of students from Washington County School District, students from any location are welcome to audition and participate.
